While sitting in hot tub gazing at the stars my wife and I observed 3 what appeared to be satelites

My wife and I observed 3 what appeared to be satelites flying in formation traveling from the northeast heading southwest. They appeared to be in a tight triangular formation separted by about a half of a finger lenghth. They remained in my view for approx 30 seconds or so. What is the most amazing thing about this sighting is that when I went to work the following day I told my friend about this sighting and he told me that both him and his wife observed the exact same thing two years ago while camping on the Naches river in Washington state. However, he also told me that they were traveling from the southwest to the northeast, exactly 180 degrees the opposite direction.
